Angelica archangelica, or great angelica, is a plant from the Apiaceae family. The root has been used for centuries in food and herbal traditions.

This combination is based on the use of herbs that are rich in bitter compounds. Angelica and centaury are known for their use in bitter blends. Tormentil and wormwood complement this with their specific plant substances.

Bitter compounds are natural plant substances that have a bitter taste. They occur in many herbs and are often used in traditional recipes and tinctures.

In food, herbs can occur in varying quantities. In a tincture, specific parts of the plant are used in standardized ratios, which ensures a consistent composition.

Alcohol is used as a solvent and preservative. It helps to extract the active substances well from the plants and ensures a longer shelf life of the product.

A tincture is usually taken diluted with water. The drops can be divided throughout the day, for example around meals. See the dosing advice on the label.
